<HTML>Hi ISHMAEL,
Thanks for your contribution on this. Seeing as Robert is too busy slagging off John Wall and Mikey to bother answering any questions today your response will have to suffice for now.

Unlike John I have a tendency to nod off at the thought of reading another novel constructed round the basic premise of 3 pyramids roughly resembling the pattern of 3 stars. :-)

It's actually called the Lehner line? Does it connect with the Northern line at Leicester Square?

A what? Okay I gotcha. I don't think you could say it was strongly indicative of anything other the fact they wanted to line their pyramids up with something. To say 3 pyramids on a line indicates a site plan is stretching things don't you think?

I look forward to it.
